This morning, the Lord reminded me of some great truths. I will never be able to control every aspect of my life. As I get closer and closer to the World Race, that has never been more true!
I am 23 years old and about to live out of a backpack for a year. I have no idea who I will meet, where I will be, or what my life will look like day to day. I don’t have a plan for when I get back. There’s a lot that I don’t know. As I continue to talk with people about the Race, they ask questions. But, I don’t know the answers!
As I sat at the coffee shop this morning, the Lord reminded me that it’s not my job to know. It’s His job to know, and lead me. He is my good and righteous Father who already knows my husband’s name and the names of my kids. He knows me better than I know myself and He will never forsake me. He knit me together and He knows how I will spend each day here on Earth! He knows my sin and loves me anyways. I am loved more than I could ever know by my Constant and Holy Father.
Jesus calls us to trust in Him and keep our eyes fixed on Him. He is everlasting strength in the face of all the things that seem out of control. Worry, doubt, and fear are no match for His redemptive love! Aren’t you thankful that we serve a Risen Lord who is bigger and more powerful than anything else?!?
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength. -Isaiah 26:3-4
We were made to love the Lord. We were made to spend time with Him, learn about Him and sing to Him! No dream that we have is better than the love and identity that the Lord freely gives to us. Lean into His love today and know how deeply and freely the Father loves us all! That Perfect Peace is pretty amazing too:)
(and shout out to Jesus Calling if you’re in the market for a new devotional 🙂 )
Please continue to pray for me and my team as we get closer and closer to training camp! Please pray for the Lord to prepare our hearts and minds for the Race.
